What Should We Expect?
One of the hopes I had for a Democratic victory last November that is would silence the neocon noise machine. I recognize now that it was a misplaced hope from the start. (I can still have hopes that the Democrats will show that the people who really know how to govern are in charge of at least Congress now.) I should have known that the neocon noise machine would be up to the same old same old regarding charges against Democrats. In fact, with the Democrats in control of Congress, it may actually free up the noise machine from any restraints of showing responsibility.
The fact is that it is a galling now as it was in Vietnam that Congress and the President sends other folks off to die and doesn't have to risk anything personally itself. Boxer's comments were right on.
